Getting started with this product

How does IBM UrbanCode Deploy integrate with plugins?

You can integrate IBM UrbanCode Deploy into your delivery pipeline and avoid re-architecting your toolchain with over 130 plugins for development, testing, infrastructure and cloud—such as the Jenkins Pipeline and VMware vRealize Automation plugins.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy allows you to create models of the deployment process with a graphical process editor, replacing manual steps and nonstandard scripts. No programming is required. You can create processes of any complexity, assign them to deployment environments and execute them more reliably.

You can deploy to any platform—mainframe, data center, cloud or virtualized environments. Deploy containers with control and visibility. Manage and participate in your deployment process from anywhere with the IBM UrbanCode mobile iOS app.

Can I manage deployment target features such as roles, permissions and approvals with built-in tools?

Yes, you can store different configuration settings for each target and enable configuration-only or traditional code-and-configuration deployments while reusing the same application process across multiple environments.

Yes, including plugins for Docker containers and Cloud Foundry. You can orchestrate changes across tiers and servers and benefit from globally distributed artifact caching for rapid deployments to thousands of servers across global data centers.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy helps ensure that artifacts are traceable and the same files are deployed from each environment. You can use customizable file cleanup rules to save disk space while retaining the files deployed to production. Integrate existing repositories for an added layer of traceability.

IBM UrbanCode Deploy provides a customizable permission system for your users and a more secure transport of your deployment artifacts. You can track user activity (who, what and where) with control and audit capabilities that build a full history of an application deployment.
